My SVX

Here is a quick pic of my 93 svx.

I have been looking for one in decent condition for a long time...happy to finally find one locally.

Would also like to thank Earl for answering a few questions for me through email!

Looking forward to learning more about the car.

Re: My SVX

Niceeeeeeee! That red is really Brilliant!

Two things you need to do:
1- Real Wheers... switch'em
2- Sandpaper (1000 & 1500) + Polishing the yellow headlights/grilles

Good luck

i would expect the driver's side real wheel is not facing the correct direction too. that'd be more likely than having 3 driver's side wheels and one passenger side one.

Re: My SVX

Thanks guys.....I knew someone would say something about the wheels!! The car has been repainted. The roof and Hood were peeling and there were dings here and there so had it redone. Will fix the wheels sometime this weekend......its driving me nuts. I am up north in Jersey.....Bergen county.

Thanks for the welcome and comments!

Re: My SVX

Your car looks really nice!
I want a nice red one like that...

Now like the other guys said, just clean them headlights.

Before:



After:


Cleaning them is easy, I just used mothers mag and alumimin polish. Took off most the yellow.

For worse lights, use sandpaper, plastic polish, and elbow grease.

Re: My SVX

A very nice 93! There were only 301 of them produced. Does yours have the 25th anniversary sticker in the right rear window? Send me the VIN or last 6 numbers and we can get you on the 93 list. Send me the mileage and I can give you a nice badge!
